So Happy You Would Be

Heavenletter #3095 Published on: May 16, 2009
God said:

I extol effortlessness. Let everything you do be effortless. Let loving everything you do and everyone you meet be effortless. Who says it can't?

Who says life has to be toil and trouble? Who says that life must be effort?

Naturally, if you want a book that you left upstairs, you have to get up from the chair you are sitting in and climb the stairs. Why not have getting out of your chair be effortless? Why not have climbing the stairs be effortless? Why not have life be effortless rather than effortful? Even the word effort itself saps your energy. Sense of effort makes even lifting your little finger heavy.

Of course, effortlessness does not mean idle, beloveds. It doesn't mean snapping your fingers for the valet to come to tie your shoes or your wife to bring you coffee. Life is movement, beloveds. Get up.

Effortless means oiling the gears. What would the oil be that allows your life to be effortless? What is the oil that makes life easier for you? What is the oil that allows you to get up out of your chair with alacrity? I say, down with effort and up with joy.

When you are happy, it is easy to get up. When you are happy, you are not telling yourself that you are tired.

It is life you get up out of your chair for, beloveds.

Imagine your life if you knew, absolutely knew, that you would be meeting with Me by the end of next week. What would not be easy for you? What could possibly wear you out when you knew, absolutely new, that at 7 a.m. on a certain sunny day, you and I would be meeting in a close embrace? What could possibly tire you when you knew, absolutely knew for yourself, that you and I have a firm date, and there can be no delay? If you knew the time of Our meeting, even if you had to dig ditches from here to Tuesday, how heavy would the shovel feel?

Why, you would jump for joy. You might even have a shovel in each hand, so happy you would be.

You don't even have to know what meeting Me actually means, and still you would be happy. Would I appear as a Human Being to you? It is possible that I would appear to you as a Human Being. It is possible that you would recognize Me. Would you see My face smiling at you? Would I lift you up in My arms of love and hold you tight and never let you go? Would I turn you into a star that lights the Earth? Would I ever put you down?

How would I appear? Would I be a light entering your heart? Would I be the blood flowing through your veins?

Would you hear Me speaking to you? Would I sing you a lullaby? Would I take you on a tour and show you around?

Would I be the quickness in your step? Would I be the leap of your heart?

I could be anything at all.

I could be the light in your eyes.

I could be the skill in your hands as you weave the Universe.

I could be the paint you splash. I could be the painting you paint.

I could be the music you sing. I could be the music you don't sing.

I could be the next voice you hear.

I could be the love and eagerness you feel right now.

What could I not be? What have I not been?

A blast from the past

On May 16th, 2009 Chuck Gebh... says:

The topic of this letter hit me with a jolt! It is like a direct answer to what I was puzzling over just a few hours before it appeared in my e-mail. I had been reading a different Heavenletter that was published in March 2008 that came to my attention because Jochen had recently added his comment on it.

I am speaking of HL # 2657 (Jump Over the Past). It is quite, quite remarkable. The letter itself is superb and the attached comments are an extension of its sublime power, as if God is speaking to us through the commenters’ words. If you haven’t read it, I highly recommend that you do.

What I was puzzling over was the concept of “effort.” This was one of the topics that came up in the discussion, more specifically the nature of effort and effortlessness in our daily lives. Here is the question I was pondering: Is our feeling of “effort” a manifestation of a kind of learned or acquired resistance to the actions we are undertaking? Are our feelings of work, effort and toil merely an acquired set of attitudes? If this is so, think of the gift we would receive from a change in our attitude. Gone would be fatigue. Gone would be the need for willpower and discipline. Procrastination would go poof!

This letter continues the message that everything we experience is a manifestation of Love. If we could but sense this and feel it and know it, nothing in life would toil!

Appreciating the awesome gift of these letters and comments……Chuck

Your hypothesis is

On May 16th, 2009 Jochen (not verified) says:

Your hypothesis is absolutely valid, dear Chuck. I even think it's more than an hypothesis. Whatever isn't easy is "learned or acquired resistance". And yes, the benefits of a shift in attitude would have to be enormous.

But how far it can go! Being invited to imagine what it would feel like to absolutely know I'm going to meet God next Tuesday, I go ... blank. Nothing. Imagine! No joy, no anticipation, only this ancient sinking feeling that after endless attempts at interpretation still doesn't know what it is. I am used to discovering weird things about Jochen – Heavenletters have a way of at least indirectly pointing them out – but this still comes as a shock, I must say. Unbelieving old beliefs is not easy at all. This is where, sadly, I have to disagree.

effort

On May 16th, 2009 Emilia says:

Effort cames from not knowing the sense, the value of what we are doing. If we could only trust that we have a goal and that this goal is our meeting with God, everything would change.I believe that after knowing God we will not be more good, but feel more energized. Love is the Energy of Creation and we will share the passion and the power of that energy. What sense of waste, of loss, of vanity could then stop us?

The oil in my gears is Bhakti. The moment I feel I am being of service, my actions become so effortless. The moment I start thinking about it, there appears a spanner in the works!

Bhakti flows and flocks from you so powerfully and sweetly dearest Heaven Admin !!!!

I read in some Heavenletter, of course I can't remember the title, that thinking about others and not ourselves helps us when we feel tired or sad or whatever. too much concentration on ourselves is not that much good. Let us reach out to God and His creation and see the thousands of blessings and opportunities He showers on all of us each day.

A wonderful wonderful Heavenletter and wonderful wonderful Heavenreaders comments !

Much love
Berit

SO HAPPY I WOULD BE

DEAREST MAESTRO, THE EXHILARATING POSSIBILITY OF MEETING WITH YOU
NEXT WEEK IS THE MOST THRILLING THING I COULD POSSIBLY IMAGINE.!!!

WITHOUT A DOUBT, EVERYTHING WOULD BE EFFORTLESS. I WOULD GET DRESSED FOR THIS SINGULARLY GLORIOUS OCCASION, IN SOMETHING CLEAN
AND SIMPLE AND FRESH. SOMETHING LIKE LINEN. READY FOR A 7:A.M. CALL.

I IKNOW YOU'D BE SMILING AND SO WOULD I. IF YOU WANTED TO HOLD ME
FOR A MOMENT, I WOULDN'T RESIST FOR A NANOSECOND. IF YOU APPEARED
AS HUMAN BEING - YET KINGLY SOMEHOW - WHAT AN AUSPICIOUS OCCASION
IT WOULD ALL SEEM TO BE

IF YOU CHANGED ME INTO A STAR, I WOULD NOT BALK OR RESIST, FOR YOU
WILL ALWAYS BE MY SWEETEST DELIGHT. YOU WOULD DEFINITELY BE THE LEAP OF MY HEART. YOU'D BE MY SONG. YOU'D SING THROUGH ME.
I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A "SUCKER" FOR LULLABIES, I'D LOVE TO HEAR A SUBLIME ONE FROM YOU.. EVERYTHING ABOUT MY LIFE WOULD OF COURSE BE INFINITELY
QUICKENED. - VIBRATING AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT. I HAVE HEARD THAT WHEN
YOU REACH THE 89TH PIANO KEY, YOU DON'T HEAR THE SOUND BECAUSE IT
BECOMES LIGHT. AND THAT QUICKENED LIGHT IS WONDROUSLY HEALING.

YOU ARE SO MAGIC , SUCH A SUBLIME MAGIKER,, THAT I MIGHT FALL INTO A
TRANCE AND CHANNEL SOMETHING WONDERFUL. YOU'D DEFINITELY BE THE
LIGHT IN MY EYES.

NOW WE GET DOWN TO MORE MYSTICAL ASPECTS OF YOU. YOU COULD BE
YOU COULD CHANGE MY HANDS SO THAT I COULD WEAVE THE UNIVERSE WITH
LIGHT AND LOVE.

God painted me to look like a guy named George. He's such a Kick in the pants. God is not George. George is busy faking the Human thing while hiding the divine essence really well.
